My lady,
Heiassa, (Bran says I need to be more familiar)
My poor husband. The apprentice you've sent him is quite the handful. She's extraordinarily lucky. Thalien would have found a tiny town and parked her there for a century so she couldn't hurt anything.
Bran says she's the exact opposite of me: I can see fate but can't change it. She can change it but can't see. After the disaster of our initial meeting, Bran has forbidden her from using magic while he teaches her how to shape fate manually. He's told her that she'll be tested in a year's time and if she can't pass his test, he'll unlock her magic and send her home so she doesn't cause trouble for Lilliallis.
He won't really, but the thought that she'd be kept away has proven to be quite the motivator. She's very polite and she's working hard to be humble as an apprentice. Yneir is making it a little hard on her but honestly, that's Mireen's fault for breaking the mask that Bran had made her. Yneir will get over it in a few days once Bran makes her a new mask.
We're slowing down on this part of the trip… it's been raining for days and the roads are turning into mud pits, but we're still making progress. How are you and the others doing? We all miss you.
Vaneili
